Another windy, cool and rainy day in the neighborhood---while my Petoskey garden is getting slammed with a 'bomb cyclone'.  Urgh.  Our fantasy two weeks in Spain and Portugal which should have been chilly were warm to hot and sunny, day in and out.  So it goes. As I sort through photos of our trip, I keep finding these great flower shots that keep my gardener's heart beating faster. Here are another couple to motivate us all. Camillias were at home in Asia but hardened varieties bloom from Portugal (here the stunning gardens at Sintra) to Long Island.  Morning glories flower on this stunning chandelier in the Pena Palace in Sintra, Portugal. Whether in Mediterranean climes or the howling winter storm along Little Traverse Bay, bringing the garden indoors is one way of extending the growing season.
